Spaztecs Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Pretty much the entire Dead Presidents Soundtrack. Including none of my all time favorites: "We don't have evidence but, we have lot's of theories." Americans Mayor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is your journey going? Oh there’s lots of great stuff in here. I’ve just traveling. I’d never heard that Jimmy Ruffin song and it was in the first episode in the for all mankind show and I couldn’t get it out of my head. My wife was stunned I’d never heard it Harmonizing, background singers, change of keys, tinkling guitar…I love that stuff. I just didn’t know a lot of it. We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
818SUDSFan Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Not really Motown so much as early soul but this is the greatest song ever: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Coast Aztec Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Old school is how I refer to it. Back when R&B had soul, love was real and the biggest stars of the genre were only shooting heroin, not pissing on little girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smltwnrckr Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Nina simone did my favorite all time version of this one. Not motown, but transcendent. Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaztecs Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 To say Motown, does one mean strictly the label ? They also produced Bands like Rare Earth, which recorded some Motown material, but was definitely not the Motown Sound. "We don't have evidence but, we have lot's of theories."
